Dairy-free raspberry vegan yogurt sweetened with stevia

This raspberry “yogurt” is a sugar-free dessert that is naturally sweetened: we use pure unprocessed stevia and fruit to sweeten it, along with the raspberries. You can enjoy this all natural plant-based yogurt without any of the added guilt.

This isn’t a traditional yogurt (there isn’t any culture in this recipe), but the chia seed does thicken it up quite a bit so the consistency and taste are much like any dairy-free yogurt (without any of the additives or processing). It is also incredibly quick and easy to make and goes really well with our overnight chia oatmeal too.

This yogurt does not contain any additives, preservatives, or crazy thickeners or sweeteners. This recipe makes about 6 servings.

• Cool this mixture and taste whether it is sweet. If not, add a small amount of additional stevia.
• In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine raspberries and tofu until smooth.
• Pour in the juice and continue to blend until smooth.
• Divide the mixture into containers or bowls, and place in fridge to chill for 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

Fruit/vegetable juice: Recommend juicing your own with a masticating juicer! If you purchase juice, try to get pure juice without any added sugars.

Fruit/vegetable juice: For subtle tasting juices you can increase juice and decrease water. I made guava juice for this recipe, which does not have a strong taste, so I used 3/4 cup of juice and 1/4 cup water.

Stevia extract: Find a recipe to make an extract from stevia leaves at http://plants.to/stevia, or substitute with about 1/2 tsp powder or purchased liquid extract stevia (to taste)
